If it seemed like Michael Lewiswas running all over the place on defense for the 49ers, it's because he was. The strong safety had a game-high 11 tackles, 10 of them solo.

For a player whose career appeared to be in jeopardy when he sustained his third concussion earlier in the season, Sunday's performance was a strong indication that Lewis has recovered from his most recent concussion.

Lewis was especially active in run support, and a number of his tackles were on hard hits. One of his tackles was for a loss.

In leading his team in tackles, Lewis was an inspiration for free safety Dashon Goldson, in his first season as a starter. Goldson came in second to Lewis in tackles with nine, eight of them solo.

That Green Bay is a passing team was reflected in the tackle totals by the 49ers' secondary. Cornerbacks Tarell Brown and Shawntae Spencercontributed nine and eight tackles, respectively.

Oh, the imbalance: Though the 49ers seemed to dominate the fourth quarter and outscored the Packers 14-7, the final statistics showed the real disparity in this game.

The Packers ran 79 plays and had the ball for a robust 41:39. That left only 18:21 in possession time for the 49ers, who had a season-low 46 offensive plays.

'Five-Grand' Frank: With a 42-yard dash up the middle on his first carry, Frank Gorebecame the fifth player in franchise history to surpass 5,000 yards rushing. Gore (5,051) joins Joe Perry(7,344), Roger Craig(7,064), Ken Willard(5,930) and Garrison Hearst(5,535) as 49ers to reach 5,000 yards.

Reaching career highs: Tight end Vernon Davisneeds two receptions to surpass his previous season high in catches with 52 from 2007. After six catches for 108 yards against the Packers, Davis has 51 for 601 yards and eight touchdowns.

His 24-yard touchdown catch in the fourth quarter over the middle came against coverage by linebacker Clay Matthews.

"It's something they were giving us in the second half," quarterback Alex Smith said. "There's Vernon, one-on-one. Not many people can cover him one-on-one."

Missed chance: Smith threw an interception in the fourth quarter on a pass that could have been for Davis or fellow tight end Delanie Walker. They were both lined up left and Smith's hurried pass split the difference between the tight ends.

"They got tangled on their release, and I tried to get the ball out quick," Smith said. "Vernon was making an adjustment, and the ball sailed over him and the safety got it."

Injury report: This was a hurtful game for the 49ers, and not just on the scoreboard. Left guard Davis Baas left the game with a sprained right ankle and did not return. Running back Michael Robinsonwas sidelined with a stinger to his right neck/shoulder area. Safety Mark Romansustained a rib contusion. Wide receiver Arnaz Battleleft with a strained right leg. Safety Reggie Smithaggravated a previous groin injury. Cornerback Marcus Hudsonhad back spasms. Brown had a left knee contusion. Walker bruised his left forearm.

Opportunity knocks: With Baas knocked out of the game at 1:31 left in the first quarter, Tony Wraggecame in to replace him at left guard and played the remainder of the game.

Wragge had a rough start, giving up a sack to defensive end Cullen Jenkinsin the second quarter, but he settled down thereafter.

"I hadn't done it in a while," Wragge said in what was his most extensive playing time in more than a year. "I always pride myself on being ready to go. Unfortunately, I did give up a sack and a pressure. After that, I calmed the heck down."

To the rescue: Spotted in the parking lot at Lambeau Field about an hour after the game was a vehicle that started out as an ambulance only to be transformed into something called a "Lambeaulance" - complete with lights and siren and boasting "Tundra Rescue."
